IntroductiondoogiePIM is a full scale multi-dimensional personal information manager for your business and privateuse. doogiePIM offers you a solution of storing and organizing your daily activities.

doogiePIM enables you to work with Sections of data rather than a traditional full tree approach. Thetree approach is fine when you are managing files or you're concentrated on a section. However, when itcomes to managing events, to-dos, contacts and documents that affect your daily life, this can be mindcluttering when displayed all in one tree view. doogiePIM allows you to Link an item to another item. Forexample, you may add a note for a contact. Or maybe a scheduled task for a finance transaction.

doogiePIM has separated each section, so you navigate your focus point accordingly. It is flexibleenough to keep your current focus wherever you wish it to be.

When your current work requires focusing on your Contacts, then you go to the Contacts Section whereeverything else will branch out but keeping your Contacts as your main focus point. For example: Youhave access to linked Documents, Messages, Tasks, Journals, Events and other related items, withoutleaving the Contacts section. This is the same with Tasks or any of the other sections.

At first, you may find the inter-linking features of doogiePIM strange, but as you use and understand it'spower and benefits, you will come to appreciate it.

How does It Work?After installing doogiePIM, all you have to do is to start the application, go through it's settings, add andorganize folders or import existing Contacts, Notes, Tasks and Events.

doogiePIM's ease of use almost makes this help file unnecessary.

doogiePIM offers many ways to access it's functions quickly to increase your productivity. There are afew shortcut icons, handy right-click menus and context sensitive help options for smooth operation.There is also a handy MiniBar as a separate window on your desktop to access doogiePIM information atany time.

doogiePIM creates it's own desktop and system tray icons once the installation is completed. Doubleclicking on the desktop doogiePIM icon will launch the application.

A more detailed description of using doogiePIM can be found in these help files, "Using doogiePIM"section. You may wish to begin with the Getting Started page.

Related TopicsIntroductionComponentsFeatures

Getting Started

The Home PageWhen you launch doogiePIM for the first time, you will be presented with a Home Page with someintroduction text. Around this page you will notice the Main Menu, Main Toolbar on the top, and theMain Section Toolbar on the left.

The main toolbar on the left can be moved to the bottom or the right-hand side as desired. (Right clickthe menu and choose 'dock to' position)

The Home Page that is displayed first is a summary that can display events that are due, tasks that needto be done and notes or other records that have been specially marked. This information summary isonly displayed when there's a database open.

See the help section "Introduction to the Home Page" for more information.

All the data records in doogiePIM is stored in a database file. By default this database is called "Data.doo" and resides in the folder where you installed to,

for example:"c:\Bitespire\doogiePIM\Data Files\Data.doo"

You can create a new database at any time by selecting from the main menu, "File / CreateDatabase". If you have used a previous version of do-Organizer 4.5+ or Harmony version 1+, you can continueusing that database file. All you will need to do is rename the file extension to .doo and then chooseFile | Open Database.

See the help section "Database Files" for more information.

Depending on your work focus point, it may be Contacts, Notes or something else. Click on the MainSection Toolbar buttons and explore.

Some sections, like Contacts, have a Tree View with a default root folder and underneath some defaultfolders. While some other sections has a default root folder, underneath some default folders anddocuments. You may add as many sub-folders and documents as you need, where applicable.

See the help section "Folders" for more information.

The Calendar and Journal are the only sections without a root Tree View because the data is date andtime specific. So you may think of the calendar dates as your folders and the items can be inside thedates of the calendar for a particular day.

The tree view is used to organize your data into a logical fashion that makes locating items faster. Thefolders in the tree view Navigator can be customized to enhance the visual reference point by changingfolder text, replacing default folders icons with different ones from the supplied icon art. Quick access tothese handy items are facilitated through right click menus.

Further information can be found in the relevant help sections.

ContactsThis section is used for adding names and addresses of your personal and business contacts. You mayenter text details and assign a reference image to identify the contact.

MessagesThis section works like a normal e-mail client. It can send and receive e-mail to and from a valid IMAP4,POP3 or SMTP server. Multiple accounts can be created and e-mails can be composed with rich textformatting. You can also use the Messages section for reading RSS feeds from the web.

BookmarksThis is a website and Internet bookmark manager, similar to the one you find in your default browser butit is much more advanced. You can add much more information to the URL with and without thumbnailsfor ease of locating the website.

VaultWhen you want to protect certain information, such as credit card details or passwords for your safe,then you can add these records into the Vault section. When the Vault is closed or locked then you needto specify the correct password to access it. By default there isn't a password assigned, so it is wise to set

one when you first launch the Vault section.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You must remember your password to get into the vault, otherwise you won't be able to accessthe information inside it. Don't put the vault password as a record inside the vault.

CalendarWhen you want to be reminded of an event on a specific day, you can enter a scheduled event in theCalendar.

TasksTasks are events or work that may or may not have a specific date and time. You could enter commontasks or work on particular projects and assign a Due Date.

JournalAn ideal place to store a daily diary. This section is similar to Notes with the exception of the foldersnavigator. Instead, a calendar replaces the folders so you navigate your main daily journals by date.

NoteboardA simple but powerful tool to "map out" an idea. This could also be used to create an organizationalchart, a family tree or a complicated process. Blocks are added then these Blocks can be linked with linesso you can visualize an overview in a clearer fashion.

PlannerFor an overview of a year, you can add multi-day events in this planner.

DocumentsA powerful notes organizer. You can store rich text, fully formatted, images and hyperlinks. The Notesfacility has a comprehensive formatting abilities so you can create tables and format text with differentcolours and font sizes.

ResourcesIn this section, you can store and manage items that are important to you, such as some stock, booklibrary or staff. You may also assign some resources to be viewable directly in the Calendar section. Thisis useful when you are scheduling a person's events or maybe hiring out a car or meeting room. Withinthe Resource record is the ability to assign database access permissions. So if a Resource is a person youcan grant access to the database with certain permissions to access only certain area and folders.

FinanceMoney can be organized in this section. You may enter financial transactions with details such ascategory. You may also link it directly to Resources and Contacts. Therefore, you could have saleablestock in the Resources and Contacts as customers. Now you have the ability to record sales transactions.

Introduction to Database FilesdoogiePIM is designed and built as a multi-file application using a reliable and stable database engine.In other words you can have more than one database file, however, only one database can be open andloaded at any one time.

The data you store in doogiePIM is saved to a special database file on your hard disk. The location ofthis file can be wherever you choose it to be. By default it is stored in a sub folder from the locationwhere you installed doogiePIM;

When doogiePIM is first installed, it sets up some default folders, as follows.(Note: this depends on the installation and is assumed you have chosen the defaults)

Default folder storage for databases:

c:\BiteSpire\doogiePIM\Data Files

This documents folder where DON files (doogiePIM Rich Text Documents) are located:

c:\BiteSpire\doogiePIM\Data Files\doNotes

Any doNotes received over the Network (LAN) is stored in:

c:\BiteSpire\doogiePIM\Data Files\doNotes\Received Notes

Query Scripts (SQL) are located in:

c:\BiteSpire\doogiePIM\Data Files\Query Scripts

Templates used by the Address Labels and Notes are located in:

c:\BiteSpire\doogiePIM\Data Files\Templates

Dictionaries used by doogiePIM should be located in:

c:\BiteSpire\doogiePIM\Dictionaries

Unlike other single file applications, you do not need to save the database each time you add or edit arecord.

When you add a new record, such as a contact, by clicking on Save on the record window the data isautomatically placed into the database.

Other files, such as doNotes, are separate file documents that are not stored in the main database. Theyare normally stored in the Data Files folder, however, you may wish to save them to your own workfolders as and when required. It is advisable to have a common data folder that all work is saved intoand probably with sub-folders. This helps when you make a backup of just the main folder withouthaving to hunt around your disk trying to locate files.

When you want to backup data from doogiePIM, all you would have to do is to backup "Data Files" andinclude all the sub-folders.

See Backups for more information about making Backups.

Password ProtectionYou may need a confidential database file for storing sensitive data. When a password is assigned to adatabase, doogiePIM will encrypt the data. Besides restricting others to access your password protecteddatabase, this also means other applications, such as file explorers and viewers, will not be able to lookat the raw data.

To Protect and Encrypt a Database

1. Open a database file that you'd like to protect with a password, if not already open.

See Opening A Database file for more information.

2. From the File menu select Set or Change Database Password command.

3. Enter your desired password in Enter the NEW password field on the Password window. You willnotice there is Enter the NEW password, again field. This is to confirm your password just enteredinto the password field.

4. It is important, if you are trying to change the password to a different one, to enter the oldpassword in the field Enter the EXISTING password. You can not change the password withoutknowing and entering the old password.

5. Choose the encryption method used to protect this database. All methods are strong and providegood protection.

Once finished, click on the OK button to accept it or click on the Cancel button to disregard.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please remember your password. It is practically impossible to open your protected database filewithout the correct password.

The new password takes effect immediately. Next time you or anybody else tries to access a passwordprotected database file they need the correct password to open the database.

Encrypting the database may take a few minutes, depending on how much data there is, so be preparedfor a slight delay after clicking OK.

FoldersThe Folder's Navigator area, in each of the relevant sections in doogiePIM, is the central point foraccessing and organizing the section's items. The folders are located on the left side of the section as aTree View.

The Calendar is the only section without a Tree View because the data is date and time specific. So youmay think of the calendar dates as your folders and the items can be inside the dates of the calendar fora particular day.

The tree view is used to organize your data into a logical fashion that makes locating items faster. Thefolders in the tree view Navigator can be customized to make things easier to see by changing foldertext, replacing default folders icons with different ones from the supplied icon art. Quick access to thesehandy items can be made through right click menus.

Adding, Renaming and Deleting FoldersAdding new folders and sub-folders is an easy process using either the Navigator Toolbar, Right-ClickMenu or the Main Menu.

Folders or Sub-Folders - what's the difference?There is no real difference between a Folder and a Sub-Folder. The terms are used to describe the itemsin the Navigator. A Sub-Folder is just a normal Folder but it's location (or level) is inside another folder:

In reality they are all sub-folders because they all belong under the section root folder. When you add aSub-Folder, the new sub-folder will be directly under the selected folder. However, if you add a Folder,the new folder will be on the same level as the selected folder. eg: "Business" is on the same level as"Family" and "Friends", but "Abroad" is a sub-folder of "Business".

The CSV File Types

Tab Delimited Values (CSV)This means each column will be separated by a tab character.

You will see the familiar open dialog window. Choose a file type from the combo box drop down.Browse to the file you want and click on Open and the file will be added to the Navigator. If you havechosen a TexNotes file, then there will be more than one note added because TexNotes comprises ofmany documents inside a single file.

CSV files

CSV (Comma Separated Values) is a common format used by many database style applications, such asMicrosoft Excel and MS Address Book. You will probably find the ability to export text data from manydatabase applications as CSV. It provides a common way to distribute data from one application toanother.

doogiePIM can except CSV data files and will render them as a table in a note.

See Tables for more information.

To import CSV

First Position your edit cursor in the edit canvas of where you want the table of data to be placed.Then;

Select from the Table/Import menu Import CSV file as table.

Then you will see the standard Windows file selector. Choose your CSV file then click on Open. A newwindow will appear with a data grid (not a table), showing the fields and lines of your data. You willalso see some input fields under the data grid to define some default table properties.

See Tables for more information.

After you have defined your basic parameters, click on OK to import the file or click on Cancel toabort the importing. After you click on OK, a table will be created in your current document, whereyou can use the Table Properties to enhance and edit the table to your requirements.

Microsoft Word documents

If you have Microsoft Word installed on your PC, then doogiePIM will detect it and will be able to importlimited MS Word documents.

NOTE: Most MS Word documents contains a lot of formatting that doogiePIM doesn'tunderstand, so your imported file may look a little different.

Future versions of doogiePIM will have their own native import filters, but if you need text from MSWord documents into doogiePIM right now, this is the alternative solution to copying and pasting. If thedocument fails by using the DOC file type try using the RTF file type instead.

Introduction to FinanceWith doogiePIM Finance section, you can store financial type records, such as money transactions, sales,purchases and other banking financial type information.

Finance data, in doogiePIM, can be added, edited and deleted. Each operation can be done only whenyou are in the Finance section of doogiePIM.

To Go To The Finance Section

Either:Choose from the Main Menu "File/Go To Section/Finance", or

Click on the Main Section Toolbar icon: Finance

Items are organized in a tree view, similar to the other sections. You can have as many items as you wishin each folder and have as many folders as you need. You may also format certain folders to havecolours so they stand out.

The main difference with the Finance section, to other folder navigators within doogiePIM, is you willnotice there is four static folders; named Sales, Purchases, Banking and General. These folders cannot be removed and serve as holders for the type of Finance records you add.

example: You add a Sales transaction to a Sales folder and a Purchase transaction into a purchasefolder.

When you add a new sub-folder, the type of folder is determined by the folder you are currently on. Forexample, if you have the Sales folder selected, then clicking on the command "Add New Sub-folder" willcreate a brand new Sales folder under it. Now you will be able to add Sales transactions into that folder.It isn't possible to move Purchase transactions into a Sales folder or Sales into a Banking folder (forobvious reasons).

There is a General folder that can be used to hold all general type transactions, you may wish to add.

See Folders for more information.

In this Finance section you can add folders and items. Each item can contain comprehensive detailsabout the data. You can enter details about the transaction, comments and other information asneeded.

Each finance transaction type is different. A Sales transaction is like an Invoice, with fields for Dispatch,Payment etc. Along with the detail lines of the products (taken from the Resources section).The Banking transactions are like your bank statement with different details in the lines, such as Deposit(Credit) and Withdrawal (Debit).

See Managing Finance Records for more information.

Entering Data into Cells

If the Spreadsheet has focus and none of its cells are being edited, the text typed by a user is written tothe active cell. In this instance, the active cell text is erased when typing the first symbol. In order tomodify a cell value without erasing its contents you should double-click the desired cell. This activatesthe cell editor and its text is not lost.

There are three ways in which you can terminate cell editing. The TAB key stops editing, and focusmoves to the next cell. The ENTER key stops editing and moves focus one cell down. The last method isto move focus to another cell using the mouse.

See Spreadsheet Operators and Functions for more information on formulas.

Selecting Cells

You can select cells in two ways. The first one is to click a cell and drag the mouse to the cell, which willrepresent the opposite corner of the selection. The second is to use the keyboard Arrows keys whileholding the SHIFT key.

Inserting/Deleting Rows and Columns

Rows and Columns of cells can be inserted/deleted by shifting cells in columns or rows to which theybelong or inserting/deleting the entire rows or columns.

To insert/delete use the main menu Spreadsheet/Add... then selects Rows or Columns.

Formatting Cells

Formatting of cells is realized via the Format Cells command found in the main menu Spreadsheet orright-click command. This window provides many options to format the cell in respect of colour,borders, and format of content.

You can also use the formatting bar above the spreadsheet to format text and colours.

Clearing Cells

You can clear cell contents and style formatting, if needed, which means that cell's content (not the cellsthemselves) are deleted and style is reset.

You can clear cells by selecting the required cell range and pressing the Del keyboard key.

What is a FormulaA formula is an equation that carries out specific operations against worksheet data. Formulas canperform mathematical operations, such as addition and multiplication, or they can compare worksheetvalues or join text. Formulas can refer to other cells on the same worksheet, cells on other sheets in thesame workbook.Note: formulas cannot refer to other cells on sheets in other workbooks.

The following example adds 600 to the value in cell A1 and then divides the result by the sum of thevalues in cells C1 and E1.

Constructing a formula

Formulas calculate values in a specific order. A formula in the Spreadsheet always begins with an equalsign (=). An equal sign tells the Spreadsheet that all subsequent characters constitute a formula.Following the equal sign are the elements to be calculated (the operands), which are separated bycalculation operators. Each element can be a function call with parameters. The Spreadsheet calculatesformulas from left to right, according to the specific order of each operator in the formula. You canchange the order of operations by using parentheses.

Referring to cells

A formula can refer to constant values and to other cells. A cell that contains a formula is known as adependent cell when its value depends on other cell values. For example, cell B2 is a dependent cell if itcontains formula ‘= C2’. There are two types of cell addressing in the Spreadsheet: relative addressingand absolute addressing. The first assumes that if you delete a column, all addresses will be changedaccordingly, its designation is ‘= C2’. So, if column A is deleted, this address will change to ‘= B2’.

Absolute addressing does not change when a column is deleted, its designation is ‘= $C$2’.

Whenever the cell to which a formula refers changes, the dependent cell also changes by default. If youenter a formula manually, the Auto Recalculation property must be enabled in order to enable automaticformula calculation.

If you use constant values instead of references to cells (for example, ‘= 30 + 70 + 110’), the resultchanges only if you modify your formula.

Formulas can also refer to a range of cells.

Using worksheet functions

The Spreadsheet contains a number of predefined or built-in formulas which are known as functions. Functions can be used to perform simple or complex calculations. The most frequently used function isthe SUM function, which is used to add numbers in a range of cells.

The image above shows how to use the SUM function to add values in range C1:D1.

Introduction to NoteboardNoteboard is a diagramming and note block tool used to outline ideas and structures. You can useNoteboard to outline a family tree or an organizational structure. You may even use Noteboard to makesimple diagrams to outline a web site. The little blocks can contain rich formatted text or images. Thinkof them like little notes that you can move around and resize on your desktop.

Why Use A Noteboard?

A visual diagram is much easier to understand than a list of text. That is why software uses icons. It isquicker to commit the image of a command than to parse and understand text. Our brains work fasterwhen confronted with an image.

In a simple example, read the following text:

"Michael Jones is married to Amy. They had a son called Ted who married Linda. Ted and Lindagave birth to Harry. Harry is now a proud father of Tim."

Now you've read it, answer the following question...

Who is the mother of Harry Jones?

You couldn't answer this question unless you could visualize the family tree in your mind or write itdown. Typically you would probably create mental memory cells to store each part of the question andit's associated properties. Then you would visualize which cell links to another. You could easily visualizethat Michael Jones is the father of Ted, but it is much more difficult to visualize who is the mother ofHarry.

However, if we use Noteboard to make a diagram, it is very clear to see the answer to the question.

We can clearly see, in the following Noteboard example, the Harry Jones Block and above it areconnector lines that link Ted Jones and Linda Smith. So we know that Linda is the mother.

Obviously this is a very simple example. You could use a Noteboard to visualize all sorts of structures.The Blocks in a diagram can be linked to multiple Blocks giving a better overview of an idea.

Introduction to MessagesWithin doogiePIM is a complete e-mail client. This facility doesn't require any other third party e-mailsystem on your computer. Once you setup the E-mail accounts with your ISP host information, you cansend and receive email messages. The Messages section can also read RSS streams commonly found onnews web sites.

The doogiePIM e-mail client can handle IMAP4, POP3 and SMTP protocols, and is able to display HTMLformatted messages without any problems of Javascript, VBScript or any other scripting email viruses.That's because doogiePIM doesn't run any scripts from the email message. Instead, the message ispreviewed and only the valid text and images that can be formatted and displayed is shown in thepreview window.

The doogiePIM Messages can list file attachments and is able to let you preview images and save them.However, it is always a good idea to have a virus checker so when you save a file attachment you cancheck the file to see if it's okay.

Unsolicited messages, commonly known as "Spam" or "Junk", is always a problem when it comes toemail and we are looking at more ways to try and identify junk messages. This is very difficult to doautomatically, so doogiePIM doesn't try to automatically identify them. You are able to check messagesagainst DNSBL servers (Blacklists of known domains that send spam), but you can create your own rulesand filters to automatically move messages to different folders based on content that is found in theemail message.

See Managing E-mail Accounts for setting up new accounts and managing existing ones. See Managing E-mail messages for information about move, deleting and organizing messages. See Composing and Replying to E-mail for more information about writing E-mail messages.

To Go To The Messages Section

Either:

Click on the Main Section Toolbar icon: Messages, orChoose from the Main Menu "File/Go to Section/Messages", orClick on the MiniBar button "Messages", orRight Click on the doogiePIM system tray icon:

and choose "Go To Section/Messages".

IMPORTANT NOTE:In many of the Messages examples given, they will require that the toolbars are enabled.

Managing Messages AccountsBefore you can send or receive messages in doogiePIM, you need to setup a least one account record sodoogiePIM knows how and where to get your messages from. E-mail is normally stored on a servercomputer hosted by your e-mail provider. You will need your e-mail account information to configuredoogiePIM. When adding a RSS data feed, you would get the URL of the feed from the web.

Managing e-mail and feeds is all done in the Messages section of doogiePIM.

To Go To The Messages section

Either:Choose from the Main Menu "File/Go to section/Messages", or

Click on the Main Section Toolbar icon: Messages

First choose what type of account this would be. You have choices for:POP3 - Used for Email messagesRSS - Used for setting up a RSS, Atom, RDF, iTunes or XML data feed.IMAP4 - Used for Email messages

Setting up a POP3 or IMAP4 accountAsk your ISP (or search the web for the email provider on the setup instructions) for the specific servernames or IP addresses to enter into the incoming and outgoing mail servers. If your ISP uses anon-standard server port (default ports are 110 for POP, and 25 for SMTP), you can enter it after theserver name in the Port input box.

The "Leave messages on server" setting is enabled by default. This setting tells doogiePIM to leave allreceived e-mail on the mail server, so it's accessible from other computers.

The basic information you need to get from your e-mail provider is

POP3/IMAP4 Server Host Name and Port numberPOP3/IMAP4 Login User NamePOP3/IMAP4 Login PasswordSMTP Server Host Name and Port numberSMTP Login User Name

SMTP Login Password

Setting up a RSS accountYou only need to enter the URL of the data feed. This is normally obtained from the web page byclicking on the little orange RSS symbol .

Introduction to ReportsThis an ideal tool for rendering a list of records. However, it goes beyond that as you can define whichdata goes where, in which column and even include rich formatted notes for each record. It is possible touse the Reports section to export, print or produce rich format documents from the Documents section.

There is a conditional filters system where you can define which records the report should display. Forexample: printing all the dairy entries in your Journal for the period of 1st May 2006 to 31st May 2006with one entry per page. If you used the Journals section, you would have to navigate to each entry anddo a separate print command for each document.

In the Reports sections, you just choose the predefined report "Journal Entries" then enter the daterange in the conditions as "Diary date is greater or equal to 1 May 2006" and "Diary date is less or

equal to 31 May 2006". Click on Run Report and you have your result. This result can then beprinted, previewed, exported or even edited for more control.

When there's a date entry required in a condition, you don't have to be exact when entering dates, youcould enter "today", "yesterday", "tomorrow", "May 31", "27/02/2006" or other variations.

The layout of the Reports section is similar to other sections. You have a navigator area where the Available Reports are located. This area is also used to add new reports, selecting reports and deletingunneeded reports. Each report you create is listed under its section type, eg: Contact reports are listedunder the Contacts item, Tasks under Tasks, etc.

Under the Available Reports list, is the Report Parameters area. When you create a report or select areport, the parameter area is filled with a vertical list of two columns. On the left column is an itemdescription and the right column is the value of that item. These items control the aspects of theselected report. eg: to change the title of the report you would navigate to the Report Settings area in

the Report Parameters, open or expand it, then look at the "Title of report" item. Click on the secondcolumn next to the item to start editing the title.

Some items in the Report Parameters cannot be edited directly but require you to select from a list ofvalues. eg: the "Sort by column" item requires you select a data field. Click on the drop-down arrow nextto the item you want to change. A list will pop up where you select the item just like a right click contextmenu.

On the right side of the Reports section is the preview area. When you run a report, the results areshown here. After the report is shown, you can select any of the text, export or print it. There may betimes when you want to export your report with your own logo on the top or you wish to changebackground colors of the tables. In this case, you can click on the command "Edit in doNotes" whereyou have complete control over the formatting.

For more information about formatting and editing, see Notes Editor.

How To Setup a Database Sign-InWith doogiePIM, Resources can be used as your "Database Users". Imagine you have an office wherethere is:

example:

Billy - The Technical administrator. Joan - Office Manager Sally - Secretary Todd - Trainee Clerk

These four people all access the same doogiePIM database that is located on a master PC. However, theTrainee Clerk is not allowed to access any email, finance or contact data, he can only have access to theTasks. The Office Manager will access everything except the ability to do backups and building indexes.The secretary only has access only to the Calendar and Tasks.

This example scenario can be realized with the use of Resources.

Firstly, each member of the office will be added to the Resources section:

See Managing Resource Records for more information.

Billy is setup as the "DB Administrator". This means Billy is the top level controller for the database sohas access to everything. This is all the functions of doogiePIM.

It is very important that when the Username and Password is assigned, these will need to berecorded somewhere safe. Do not lose your admin username and password, otherwise you won'tbe able to access your database.

Joan, the Office Manager, is setup as a "Manager", but in the "Actions Allowed", only certain items arechecked.

Sally the secretary is added as a "Restricted Sign In" and Todd also as a "Restricted Sign In" withvarious access permissions.

Note also, the "Calendar" tab. Sally needs to have her events scheduled and so does Joan. Therefore the"Shown in Calendar" box is checked.

This means Sally and Joan will have a Calendar block in the Calendar section. However, if Sally signs intothe database, she will only see her own calendar, but Joan will be able to see her own and Sally's calendars, due to the Manager status.

Now the database is setup. Each person runs doogiePIM on their own PC and goes to Open Database.They choose the database file, which is located on a shared folder on a master PC in the office. Butinstead of going straight to the records, the user will see the Home Page but with a request to sign in.Here they will enter their username and password. When accepted, they will see their home page withtheir appropriate tasks and events (however the home page data panels are setup).

When a member of staff goes to lunch or leaves the desk, it is advisable to "Sign Out" so not to keep thedatabase accessible. You don't have to close the database, you could just click on the "Sign Out" buttonin the top right or in the File menu.

Assigning Folders

When you wish for a Resource to have only specific access to certain folders, then this can be achievedusing the "Accessible Folders" tab in the Resource Details Permissions window.

When assigning a folder to a resource, you should be aware that the Resource will be able to access thatassigned folder and any sub-folders that are under that folder.

For more visual folder examples

Joan is only assigned the folder "General", therefore Joan can access "General", "Software for Sale" upto and including "Library" and "Favourite Books". 7 Folders in total. But Joan can't access Equipment or

any of those sub-folders.

This would be Joan's view of the folders:

If Joan is only assign "Favourite Books" then her view would be like this:

Introduction to TasksTasks are defined as events that do not necessarily have a date and time, unlike an event.

Tasks, in doogiePIM, can be added, edited and deleted. Each operation can be done when in theCalendar section or in the Tasks section.

Some examples of a task could be:1. Backup database files.2. Take dog for a walk.3. Write a best seller

Some tasks could be assigned a start date and an estimated finish date (due date). You can track thestatus of a task by assigning the progress.

For example:Consider the task "Create Church Newsletter"You could set the due date in the future to indicate when it is due by.The progress could be set to 25% to indicate that it is in progress.

Tasks can also be assigned to a Resource, see Resources for more information. This way, you can quicklysee which tasks are due for a Resource by looking at the tasks list in the Calendar section.

Tasks may also be organized into folders for better navigation. You can have as many tasks in eachfolder as you wish and you can add as many folders as you need.

Introduction to doNotesdoNotes are standalone rich text documents that are not saved as part of any database record, but areas actual files on your local storage. This means no matter which database you have open, the samedoNotes are always available. This also means that any information inside a doNotes isn't passwordprotected or encrypted, so be careful on what you include in the text.

Think of doNotes as word processing files.

You can completely format notes just like a full word processor with images, tabs, bold, italic andcolours. You can even create tables. Any doNotes that are open when you exit doogiePIM willautomatically reopen the next time you start doogiePIM, so these notes are invaluable for addedreminders for yourself. doNotes can open special files with file extension of "don" (doogiePIM DocumentFile), and you could import compatible files such as plain text or RTF.

For more information of formatting and editing of Notes, see Notes Editor.

Think of doNotes as sticky notes.

You can send a note over Local Area Network (LAN with TCP/IP) to a recipient who is also runningdoogiePIM. The note you send is fully formatted. You can control if you want to receive doNotes or not

with the icon on the main toolbar.

See Sending Notes over a Network for more information.

Making Archive Backups of Data FilesIt goes without saying that it is extremely important to make backups of data just in case of computerfailure or you need to revert back to a particular stage. doogiePIM has a utility to create a ZIP or EXEArchive of a selected folder. It is useful to have all your data from one main folder so you can managewhere files are located easier.

See Introduction to Data Files for more information on where doogiePIM data is located on your harddisk.

There are a couple of ways to backup your data. You could use the built-in "Backup Database"command. This will create a copy of your database to the location you specify. This is the simplest andquickest method because you don't have to close your database.

To make a quick backup of your database

Select from the main menu, File/Backup database files, or

Click on the main toolbar icon,

This backup is generally fine for everyday backups. It will quickly create a single database file in thefolder of your choosing. However, this won't backup any of your doNotes or other settings within thedoogiePIM folder. To make a backup of your data files folder, you will need a third party option tocopy the folder to storage or use the built-in File Archiver.

Using the File ArchiverThe other option is to use the Files Archiver. This essentially creates a ZIP file. This will let you backup awhole folder, but if you're archive contains the database that is currently open, then it could becorrupted, so always close your database, before archiving files.

The doogiePIM backup system can create two types of archive:

1. Easy Restore ExecutableThis is an application file, just like doogiePIM, but works like a mini-application. All your data and specialextraction program code to extract the data is contained all in one file. You don't need any third partysoftware to get the data out of the archive. That is why you may wish to consider using the passwordprotection options.To restore data from this type of archive, you just use the File Explorer and run it like a normalapplication.

2. Zip ArchiveThis file format is compatible with all Zip archiving software. Windows has now started to take notice ofthis format and even provides features for reading Zip files directly. The file extension is .zip.

Click Tools / Archive Files or Press F6:

When you make a backup archive, the "Current Backup Number" will increment automatically up to themaximum specified. Then it goes back to 1 again. The resulting filename will be created comprising ofthe "Archive Filename Prefix" and the backup number, as indicated by the "Archive Filename" previewin the window. This enables you to have different versions each time you make a backup.

Note: You can only choose folders to include in the archive. The sub-folders of the folder you've chosenwill automatically be included in the archive.

MiniBarThe doogiePIM MiniBar is a free floating toolbar that appears on your desktop. This small utility is activewhen you first run doogiePIM and can stay active for as long as you wish. The buttons on the MiniBarare quick access to the sections and tools of doogiePIM. So you can close the main window ofdoogiePIM and have the MiniBar running with low resources enabling you to access email, bookmarksor other records with minimum effort. All of these MiniBars can be edited with a free MiniBar Editoravailable at BiteSpire.com. You can create flat style or 3D style buttons.

It works like a normal toolbar. To move the MiniBar around your desktop, left click and hold down themouse on the cross on the left of the MiniBar.

doogiePIM comes with some different layouts, here are some examples:

A classic horizontal MiniBar, designed to fit on the top or bottom of your desktop (Captions Only):

A classic horizontal MiniBar with captions removed and only icons showing:

A vertical MiniBar that is better for the left or right hand side of your desktop (With Captions and IconsOR Icons Only):

The button operations of the MiniBar are: (You can mouse over any of the minibar buttons to see whichitem it controls)

Shows a drop down menu to access your URLs stored in doogiePIM. The resulting menu is arrangedlike your folders in the URLs section. The URL records are listed as menu items with a thumbnailtooltip for identification. Click on a URL menu item to launch the URL in your browser. To Add aBookmark, click on the Command "Add a New URL..." or drag a URL from the browser address baror web page directly onto the MiniBar. (With Captions and Icons OR Icons Only):

These are the options available from the MiniBars:

o Launches the Home Page of doogiePIM.

o Launches the Calendar section.

o Launches the Contacts section.

o Launches the Messages section.

o Launches the Journal section.

o Launches the Noteboard section.

o Launches the Notes & Documents section.

o Launches the Planner section.

o Launches the Tasks section.

o Launches the Reports section.

o Launches the Vault section.

If you want to control visibility of the MiniBar when doogiePIM starts, then go to the "Settingsand Preferences/General":

Launching doogiePIM by showing the MiniBar only: Place a check next to "Show MiniBar at Startup" and choose "Show: none" to only have the

MiniBar shown without the main window.

Launching doogiePIM without the MiniBar showing: Uncheck "Show MiniBar at Startup" and choose "Show: Last used Section" to only have the last

section you visited, eg: Contacts, shown without the MiniBar being displayed.

You can create your own MiniBar definitions or edit an existing definition if the common tools are not toyour liking. You could create your own bar with only Contacts and URLs if you wish.

Introduction to BiteSpire Files ExplorerThe BiteSpire Files Explorer is a utility which allows you to view small thumbnails of image files. It worksin a similar manner to the Windows File Explorer. In fact, in many ways, it is almost exactly the same. Ithas a folder tree view for navigating to different folders and a list view for showing thumbnails or filedetails. You can create, rename and delete folders and files in the same way as the Windows FileExplorer.

The added advantage of the BiteSpire Files Explorer is a Preview Area where the selected file will beshown. This may be an image or a rich formatted file. This means you can preview template text, or animage, before dragged the file into a Note or Comments editor.

When viewing an image, there are commands on the main toolbar or by using the main menu to zoomthe image in and out, selecting an area of the image or panning the image window.

You don't have to use doogiePIM Files Explorer with just doogiePIM, you can drag files to otherapplications, if they accept OLE communication.

Previewing of a document file. See Text File Formats that can be previewed.

Flag MarkersFlag Markers are special marker points on certain database records, such as on a Note or a Contact. Youcan assign a flag marker on Notes, Events, Tasks, Contacts, Planners, Noteboard Blocks and Journals.

The markers are useful in identifying the status of the record. eg: you could have a flag marker called "todo" which you use for assigning against a Note, or you could assign a flag marker to a contact called "Follow up", identifying that this contact needs attention.

These flag marked items can be listed on your Home Page as a quick access to the item. See "Changing the Home Page" for more information.

Managing The Flag MarkersYou can add, remove or edit the flag marker names and icon. You are free to add your own or changethe default ones.

To Add, Edit or Delete Flag Markers

Choose from the Main Menu "Tools/Edit Flag Markers".Use the Flag Markers editor window to:Add - Adds a new flag marker.Edit - Allows you to rename the flag marker with your own text. This must be unique and can't beblank.Delete - Delete the flag marker. Be careful if you have records in your database that have beenflagged with the marker you are deleting.Move Up - Moves the flag marker up in the list. This affects the combo boxes and menu lists wherethe flags are displayed.Move Down - Moves the flag marker down in the list. This affects the combo boxes and menu listswhere the flags are displayed.Icon - Change the icon of the selected flag

Password GeneratordoogiePIM comes with a built in Password Generator so you can generate random passwords with thedoogiePIM password generator. Instead of trying to think of some password which is easily guessed by athird person, you can get the password generator to create a much more secure one for you with theclick of a button.

You can access the Password Generator by clicking on the 'Tools' menu and selecting 'PasswordGenerator' menu command or clicking the shortcut icon 'Password Generator' placed on the mainicon toolbar.

To Launch the Password Generator

Either:Choose from the Main Menu "Tools/Password Generator", or

Click on the Main Toolbar icon:

Generating Random Passwords

Once you have launched the Password Generator, the first thing you need to do is to define somerules.

From the first group of radio buttons select what type of character case your new password should

contain. From the second group of check boxes select what type of characters your password should be

created with. Space counts as a character.On the third group of data edit fields, enter values for minimum and maximum character lengths

the password should contain.

After defining your password tools just click on the Generate button. You will see the newlygenerated password in 'The generated password' field.

You can copy/paste the password using standard keyboard short cut keys [Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V], rightclick popup menu or alternatively you can copy to clipboard.

Password Generator is a free floating window. You can have it running while working with doogiePIM orother applications.

Introduction to ScratchpadScratchpad allows you to collect snippets of plain text that can be stored and reused. You can storesignatures, Email Templates, Quotes, programming code and other useful text. Scratchpad entries areorganized into folders and can be added, edited and deleted. Each operation can be done only whenyou are in the Scratchpad Window of doogiePIM.

They are organized in a folder tree view, similar to the folders navigator in the main window.

See Folders for more information.

Each phrase can contain any amount of plain text. You can enter them manually, paste them from theclipboard or you can drag them in from some browser window or any other application that supportsfull OLE drag and drop.

Introduction to Database SearchThere are a couple of ways to search for data within doogiePIM. The first is by using the Quick Searchwhich is located under most of the section's list views.

See Quick Searching for more information.

There are times, however, that Quick Search doesn't give the results you need. Therefore, you could usethe Database Search which is sectioned into a Full Search, Search by Field and a much moreadvanced SQL search.

The main advantage of using the Database Search over the Quick Search is that the Database Search willlist the matching records so you can locate the record, export the list or print it. The Quick Search willonly go to the first or next matching field so you don't know exactly how many matches you have. Plusthe Quick Search only searches in the currently selected folder with the exception of the calendar.

The Full Search is an indexed search that will search for words in any part of your database. It isn'trestricted by which field the text is in.

See Full Search and Indexing for more information.

The Database Search By Field is a good way to find text that matches any one of the fields in adatabase section. You could search for the home address country that matches "Netherlands" or find URLs that end in ".co.uk".

See Search by Field for more information.

The Advanced SQL gives the user scripting control. This is designed for people with knowledge of SQL(Structured Query Language) and gives a great deal of flexibility.

See Advanced Search and SQL Reference for more information.

The results list view of the search can be used to export to CSV or you may print the list. You can go to arecord from the result item which takes you to the correct section and record within doogiePIM in themain window.

Quick SearchingThe records in doogiePIM can be searched for in the relevant section for the currently selected folder byusing the quick search facility located under the List View or the Card View. If you want a more advancedsearch or a list of matching items for exporting, then you could use the Database Search.

See Database Search for more information.

The search is case-insensitive. This means if you searched for "smith", then the system will find "Smith"and "SMITH". Regular Expressions are also supported

Enter the search text:

SMITH

A normal search term so doogiePIM will find items that match SMITH.

Enter the regular expression search text:

(smith|jones)

This is a regular expression search. Here the example searches for items matching smith or jones.

See Syntax of Regular Expressions for more information.

The Quick Search bar that is located under section list views.

To Use the Quick Search

1. Choose from the "Search in" blue drop down text by clicking on the blue underlined text andchoose the field you want to search in. If you are not sure which field to search in then choose "AllColumns" from the list of choices.

2. Click on the matching type (next blue text) to change the way the search text matches the field:

ContainsMatches text inside text, eg: "BiteSpire" with match against "Made by BiteSpire Software"

Start withMatches text that starts with text, eg: "BiteSpire" with match against "BiteSpire Software" but not "Visit BiteSpire Software".

Ends WithMatches text that ends with text, eg: "BiteSpire" with match against "Made by BiteSpire" but not "

BiteSpire Software".

RegExpr

Matches the text using a regular expression.

See Regular Expressions for more information.

3. Enter the text you wish to search for in the input box "Text".

4. Click on the Find First button on the right of the "search for" input box, to locate the firstmatching item in the list. Pressing Enter on your keyboard also activates this command.

5. Click on the Find Next button on the right of the "search for" input box, to locate the nextmatching item in the list.

If any item is found that matches your criteria, the appropriate record is automatically selected so thedetails are displayed in the item's information area. If no record is found, a warning dialog is displayedaccordingly.

Search by FieldThis search gives you the facility to extract a list of records that matches text against a single field. Forexample, you could search for the home address country that matches "Netherlands" or find Bookmark'sURLs that end in ".co.uk".

To Launch the Database Simple Search

Either:Choose from the Main Menu "Tools/Database Search", or

Click on the Main Toolbar icon: or Press F9. Choose your type of search between, Full or by Field:

To Conduct a Search by Field

1. First choose a section from the drop down list by clicking on the long button: Search in Section2. Next choose the record field from the list next to Record Field.3. Choose the Matching Type. from the available radio buttons that best describes how to matchyour search text to the record's field.4. Enter the text you want to search for in "Search for Text". The search is not case sensitive so "BiteSpire" also matches "BiteSpire" and "BiteSpire".5. Click on Begin Search to start the search. Depending on how many records there are, it may take afew seconds to compile the list.

Any results found are listing in the list view that is displayed. From here you can go to the record in therelevant section, export the list or print the list.Use the icon command on the toolbar above the list view accordingly.

Advanced Database Search

To Launch the Database Simple Search

Either:Choose from the Main Menu "Tools/Database Search", or

Click on the Main Toolbar icon: or Press F9. Choose your type of search between, Full or by Field:

The simple search in doogiePIM gives you the facility to extract a list of records that matches text againsta single field. However, you may want to achieve more control and finer results.

The Advanced search gives the user scripting control. This is designed for people with knowledge of SQL(Structured Query Language) and gives a great deal of flexibility. This is not for basic searches and isbeyond the scope of this documentation. Therefore, you need to look for an appropriate Internetresource that deals with SQL.

See SQL Reference for more information about functions and syntax.

Full Search and IndexingThis is the fastest and the simplest search. It allows you to search for any word in any area of the wholedatabase, except for Vault. Imagine this feature as being like an internet search engine, but it onlysearches your database and not the web.

doogiePIM is able to search by first indexing all the words of text that you have in your database. It thenorganizes this into a new database file called an "Inverted Index". This means when you enter a word, itwill immediately search for all data that has the index of that word. This means it may be faster thanusing other search methods. This is beneficial, for example, when searching email or RSS messages.

Searching

To search for some data, enter a word or two in the input box "Search for". The search is notcase-sensitive, so if you enter "BITESPIRE", this is the same as entering "bitespire" or "BiteSpire". Clickon "Begin Search" to start the search. Any results that are found are displayed in the preview area.

The order of words you search for is also not important. You could search for "bitespire doogiepim" and

this will bring the same result as "doogiepim bitespire". The search is only interested in which wordsmatch and not the order of the words.

Full Search Options

There are options that you can apply. For example, you only want to search in Messages andDocuments and not the other sections.

Click on the button, next to the search input box:

This reveals these options. Click on the button again to hide the options.

"Immediate Search While Typing", will start the search as soon as you start typing some characters.This means you don't have to press ENTER or click on the "Begin Search" button.

"Show Text Extract". Some records will result in some extra text that will help to identify what you'relooking for, for example, an email message. When unchecked, you will only see a title line.

Once your result is on screen, click on a blue title text to locate that record. You may even select the textand paste it into a doNote or other edit area. You have all the same options to export or "send to" asother text editors within doogiePIM.

However, before doing any full searching you will need to get your data indexed.

Indexing

There are two ways to get your data indexed. You can have doogiePIM automatically index the data afterevery time you add a record or update a record's data. However, this makes add and editing slowerbecause doogiePIM has more work to do than just saving the record. This method is called "AutomaticIndexing".

The second method is "Manual Indexing". This means you build your own index at a time when youwant. This advantage is that adding and editing are a normal speed, but the indexes won't be updateduntil you build the indexes yourself.

You can setup which method you prefer by going to the "Settings and Preferences/Search Indexing",then choose the indexing method.

Building A New Index

To manually build a new index, select from the main menu "Tools/Admin/Build Complete Full TextIndex". But be warned, this process can take a long time. It is also advisable not to run otherapplications while the indexing is working, as this will slow down your PC.

Exporting Search ResultsMany of the List Views in doogiePIM can be exported, this includes the search results of the DatabaseSearch. The resulting output is the list in plain text form. This enables you to extract a list to a CSV file.This is ideal in situations when you want to preserve a result of a search, a filtered list of tasks or acontacts list.

Before exporting, first populate the list with the data you want by conducting a search or running aquery script.

To Export A List View

(If a sections list view) Choose from the section's main menu icon: "File/Export/List of ...".

The standard Windows Save Dialog is then displayed:

Choose a folder and filename for the exported document and choose which file type you want fromthe file types combo box. Then click on Save to create the new document. Valid file types are: TabDelimited Values and Comma Separated Values.

The CSV File Types

Tab Delimited Values (CSV)

This means each column will be separated by a tab character.

Each column's data is always enclosed in speech marks and the first line is a list of the list view columnnames.

An example would be:

"Column1" "Column2""Mr.Smith" "Manager"

Comma Separated Values (CSV)This means each column will be separated by a comma character.

Each column's data is always enclosed in speech marks and the first line is a list of the list view columnnames. If there is a speech mark in the data text, then the export will insert a double speech mark: ""

An example would be:

"Column1","Column2""Mr.Smith","Manager"

Managing SQL ScriptsScripts written in the Database Search editor can be saved to your local hard disk, so you can manageyour individual documents like a normal file. It is recommended to use the BiteSpire Files Explorerbecause you get the added advantage of seeing the contents of the document. This will allow you tomanage the scripts better.

See BiteSpire Files Explorer for more information.

When doogiePIM is first installed, it sets up a default folder in the installation. This documents folder is:

C:\BiteSpire\doogiePIM\Data Files\Query Scripts

However, you don't have to use this folder. When you are requested to save a script, you are given theopportunity to save the file to a different folder.

Multidimensional LinkingWhat makes doogiePIM different to other organizers is the multidimensional approach to the data.

Most other software has only a single dimension. ie: You can store your contact's name, address ande-mail details and you can add notes and events. But you can't see which note refers to which contact.

Single Dimension (other organizer software)ContactsNotesTasksCalendar

Some other software has two dimensions. ie: You can store your contact's name then add a note for thecontact. The contact is linked to the note in just one way. You can't select only the note and see thecontact.

Two Dimensions (some other organizer software)Contact NoteEvent Note

doogiePIM has added dimensionsYou can add a contact, then add a note to the contact. Then you can add an event to the contact.However, you can select and view all your notes and see which contact or which event the note is relatedto.

Multidimensional doogiePIM

The linking is done both ways.If you view the contact, you see the related documents.If you view the email messages, you see the related contacts.

The linking is not limited to contacts and documents, you can relate other items in the database, such asa Planner Event or a Noteboard or even a Task. You can even link items in the same data sections suchas linking a Contact to another Contact. eg: Salespersons inside one company.

This adds an extra dimension giving you a better understanding of your data, enabling you to correctlyorganize your valuable time.

Syntax of Regular Expressions

Introduction

Regular Expressions are a widely-used method of specifying patterns of text to search for. Specialmeta-characters allow you to specify, for instance, that a particular string you are looking for occurs atthe beginning or end of a line, or contains a number of recurrences of a certain character.

Regular expressions look ugly for the novice user, but really they are very simple, handy and powerful.

Simple matches

Any single character matches itself, unless it's a meta-character with a special meaning as describedbelow.

A series of characters matches that series of characters in the target string, so the pattern "bluh" wouldmatch "bluh'' in the target string.

You can cause characters that normally function as meta-characters or escape sequences to beinterpreted literally by 'escaping' them by preceding them with a backslash "\", for instance:meta-character "^" matches the beginning of a string, but "\^" matches characters "^", "\" and so on.

Examples

texnotes matches the string: "texnotes"\^texnotes matches "^texnotes"

Escape sequences

Characters may be specified using a escape sequences syntax much like that used in C and Perl: "\n''matches a newline, "\t'' a tab, etc. More generally, \xnn, where nn is a string of hexadecimal digits,matches the character whose ASCII value is nn. If You need wide (Unicode) character code, You can use'\x{nnnn}', where 'nnnn' - one or more hexadecimal digits.

\xnn char with hex code nn \x{nnnn} char with hex code nnnn (one byte for plain text and two bytes for Unicode) \t tab (HT/TAB), same as \x09 \n newline (NL), same as \x0a \r car.return (CR), same as \x0d \f form feed (FF), same as \x0c \a alarm (bell) (BEL), same as \x07 \e escape (ESC), same as \x1b

Examples

foo\x20bar matches 'foo bar' (note the space in the middle).\tfoobar matches 'foobar', predefined by tab.

Character classes

You can specify a character class, by enclosing a list of characters in [], which will match any onecharacter from the list.

If the first character after the "['' is "^'', the class matches any character not in the list.

Examples

foob[aeiou]r finds strings 'foobar', 'foober' etc. but not 'foobbr', 'foobcr' etc.foob[^aeiou]r find strings 'foobbr', 'foobcr' etc. but not 'foobar', 'foober' etc.

Within a list, the "-'' character is used to specify a range, so that a-z represents all characters between "a''and "z'', inclusive.

If You want "-'' itself to be a member of a class, put it at the start or end of the list, or escape it with abackslash. If You want ']' you may place it at the start of list or escape it with a backslash.

Examples

[-az] matches 'a', 'z' and '-'[az-] matches 'a', 'z' and '-'[a\-z] matches 'a', 'z' and '-'[a-z] matches all twenty six small characters from 'a' to 'z'[\n-\x0D] matches any of #10,#11,#12,#13.[\d-t] matches any digit, '-' or 't'.[]-a] matches any char from ']'..'a'.

Meta-characters

Meta-characters are special characters which are the essence of Regular Expressions. There are differenttypes of meta-characters, described below.

Meta-characters - line separators^ start of line$ end of line\A start of text\Z end of text. any character in line

Examples

^foobar matches string 'foobar' only if it's at the beginning of linefoobar$ matches string 'foobar' only if it's at the end of line^foobar$ matches string 'foobar' only if it's the only string in linefoob.r matches strings like 'foobar', 'foobbr', 'foob1r' and so on

The "^" meta-character by default is only guaranteed to match at the beginning of the input string/text,the "$" meta-character only at the end. Embedded line separators will not be matched by "^'' or "$''.You may, however, wish to treat a string as a multi-line buffer, such that the "^'' will match after any lineseparator within the string, and "$'' will match before any line separator. You can do this by switching Onthe modifier /m.

The \A and \Z are just like "^'' and "$'', except that they won't match multiple times when the modifier/m is used, while "^'' and "$'' will match at every internal line separator.

The ".'' meta-character by default matches any character, but if you switch off the modifier /s, then '.'won't match embedded line separators.

The Regular Expression engine works with line separators as recommended at:www.unicode.org ( http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr18/ )

"^" is at the beginning of a input string, and, if modifier /m is On, also immediately following anyoccurrence of \x0D\x0A or \x0A or \x0D. Note that there is no empty line within the sequence \x0D\x0A.

"$" is at the end of a input string, and, if modifier /m is on, also immediately preceding any occurrenceof \x0D\x0A or \x0A or \x0D. Note that there is no empty line within the sequence \x0D\x0A.

"." matches any character, but if You switch Off modifier /s then "." doesn't match \x0D\x0A and \x0Aand \x0D.

Note that "^.*$" (an empty line pattern) does not match the empty string within the sequence \x0D\x0A,but matches the empty string within the sequence \x0A\x0D.

Meta-characters - predefined classes

\w an alphanumeric character (including "_")\W a nonalphanumeric\d a numeric character\D a non-numeric\s any space (same as [ \t\n\r\f])\S a non space

You may use \w, \d and \s within custom character classes.

Examples

foob\dr matches strings like 'foob1r', ''foob6r' and so on but not 'foobar', 'foobbr' andso onfoob[\w\s]r matches strings like 'foobar', 'foob r', 'foobbr' and so on but not 'foob1r','foob=r' and so on

The Regular Expression engine uses properties SpaceChars and WordChars to define character classes\w, \W, \s, \S, so you can easily redefine it.

Meta-characters - word boundaries

\b Match a word boundary \B Match a non-(word boundary)

A word boundary (\b) is a spot between two characters that has a \w on one side of it and a \W on theother side of it (in either order), counting the imaginary characters off the beginning and end of thestring as matching a \W.

Meta-characters - iterators

Any item of a regular expression may be followed by another type of meta-characters - iterators. Usingthis meta-characters You can specify number of occurrences of previous character, meta-character orsub-expression.

* zero or more ("greedy"), similar to {0,} + one or more ("greedy"), similar to {1,} ? zero or one ("greedy"), similar to {0,1} {n} exactly n times ("greedy") {n,} at least n times ("greedy") {n,m} at least n but not more than m times ("greedy") *? zero or more ("non-greedy"), similar to {0,}? +? one or more ("non-greedy"), similar to {1,}? ?? zero or one ("non-greedy"), similar to {0,1}? {n}? exactly n times ("non-greedy") {n,}? at least n times ("non-greedy") {n,m}? at least n but not more than m times ("non-greedy")

So, digits in curly brackets of the form {n,m}, specify the minimum number of times to match the item nand the maximum m. The form {n} is equivalent to {n,n} and matches exactly n times. The form {n,}matches n or more times. There is no limit to the size of n or m, but large numbers will chew up morememory and slow down r.e. execution.

If a curly bracket occurs in any other context, it is treated as a regular character.

Examples

foob.*r matches strings like 'foobar', 'foobalkjdflkj9r' and 'foobr'foob.+r matches strings like 'foobar', 'foobalkjdflkj9r' but not 'foobr'

foob.?r matches strings like 'foobar', 'foobbr' and 'foobr' but not 'foobalkj9r'fooba{2}r matches the string 'foobaar'fooba{2,}r matches strings like 'foobaar', 'foobaaar', 'foobaaaar' etc.fooba{2,3}r matches strings like 'foobaar', or 'foobaaar' but not 'foobaaaar'

A little explanation about "greediness". "Greedy" takes as many as possible, "non-greedy" takes as few aspossible. For example, 'b+' and 'b*' applied to string 'abbbbc' return 'bbbb', 'b+?' returns 'b', 'b*?'returns empty string, 'b{2,3}?' returns 'bb', 'b{2,3}' returns 'bbb'.

You can switch all iterators into "non-greedy" mode (see the modifier /g).

Meta-characters - alternatives

You can specify a series of alternatives for a pattern using "|'' to separate them, so that fee|fie|foe willmatch any of "fee'', "fie'', or "foe'' in the target string (as would f(e|i|o)e). The first alternative includeseverything from the last pattern delimiter ("('', "['', or the beginning of the pattern) up to the first "|'', andthe last alternative contains everything from the last "|'' to the next pattern delimiter. For this reason, it'scommon practice to include alternatives in parentheses, to minimize confusion about where they startand end.Alternatives are tried from left to right, so the first alternative found for which the entire expressionmatches, is the one that is chosen. This means that alternatives are not necessarily greedy. For example:when matching foo|foot against "barefoot'', only the "foo'' part will match, as that is the first alternativetried, and it successfully matches the target string. (This might not seem important, but it is importantwhen you are capturing matched text using parentheses.)Also remember that "|'' is interpreted as a literal within square brackets, so if You write [fee|fie|foe]You're really only matching [feio|].

Examples

foo(bar|foo) matches strings 'foobar' or 'foofoo'.

Meta-characters - sub-expressions

Subexpressions are numbered based on the left to right order of their opening parenthesis.

Examples

(foobar){8,10} matches strings which contain 8, 9 or 10 instances of the 'foobar'foob([0-9]|a+)r matches 'foob0r', 'foob1r' , 'foobar', 'foobaar', 'foobaar' etc.

Meta-characters - backreferences

Metacharacters \1 through \9 are interpreted as backreferences. \<n> matches previously matchedsubexpression #<n>.

Examples

(.)\1+ matches 'aaaa' and 'cc'.(.+)\1+ also match 'abab' and '123123'(['"]?)(\d+)\1 matches '"13" (in double quotes), or '4' (in single quotes) or 77 (without quotes)

Modifiers

Modifiers are for changing the behavior of the Regular Expression.

There are many ways to set up modifiers.Any of these modifiers may be embedded within the regular expression itself using the (?...) construct.

iDo case-insensitive pattern matching (using installed in you system locale settings), see also InvertCase.

mTreat string as multiple lines. That is, change "^'' and "$'' from matching at only the very start or end ofthe string to the start or end of any line anywhere within the string, see also Line separators.

sTreat string as single line. That is, change ".'' to match any character whatsoever, even a line separators(see also Line separators), which it normally would not match.

gNon standard modifier. Switching it Off You'll switch all following operators into non-greedy mode (bydefault this modifier is On). So, if modifier /g is Off then '+' works as '+?', '*' as '*?' and so on

xExtend your pattern's legibility by permitting whitespace and comments (see explanation below).

rNon-standard modifier. If is set then range à-ÿ additional include Russian letter '¸', À-ß additional include'¨', and à-ß include all Russian symbols.

Perl extensions

(?imsxr-imsxr)You may use it into r.e. for modifying modifiers by the fly. If this construction inlined into subexpression,then it effects only into this subexpression

Examples(?i)Saint-Petersburg matches 'Saint-petersburg' and 'Saint-Petersburg'(?i)Saint-(?-i)Petersburg matches 'Saint-Petersburg' but not 'Saint-petersburg'(?i)(Saint-)?Petersburg matches 'Saint-petersburg' and 'saint-petersburg'((?i)Saint-)?Petersburg matches 'saint-Petersburg', but not 'saint-petersburg'(?#text) A comment, the text is ignored.

Note that Regular Expression engine closes the comment as soon as itsees a ")",

so there is no way to put a literal ")" in the comment.

SQL ReferencedoogiePIM database supports a subset of SQL commands. It includes the most widely used SQLstatements for data manipulation and definitions.

EG: SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE TABLE, ALTER TABLE, DROP TABLE, CREATE INDEX,DROP INDEX.

SQL commands should be separated by semi-colon ( ; )

Supported SQL commands

SELECT Statement INSERT Statement UPDATE Statement DELETE Statement CREATE TABLE Statement ALTER TABLE Statement DROP TABLE Statement CREATE INDEX Statement DROP INDEX Statement START TRANSACTION Statement COMMIT Statement ROLLBACK Statement

Naming Conventions

Table Name Table name could be a single word or a multiple words. Multiple words name must be enclosed bysingle or double quotes, or brackets [].

Example:

SELECT * FROM "Contact Parts"

You can also use correlation name:

Example:

SELECT DP.PartNo FROM [Detail Parts] DP

Column Name doogiePIM's SQL supports single-word and multiple-words column names. Multiple words name mustbe enclosed by single or double quotes, or brackets []. Column names that duplicate SQL keywords arealso supported.

Example:

SELECT Orders.[Cust No] FROM Orders

You can also use short correlation name for columns:

Example:

SELECT C.Name AS FullName FROM Contacts C WHERE FullName LIKE 'Bill%'

CommentsYou can use comments in SQL queries text to keep remarks or some useful information about the query. Single-line comments should be started with '--' symbols:

Example:

-- This is a single-line comment SELECT * FROM Contacts

Another variant of comments is enclosing text into /* and */ symbols. It can be used for temporarily removing of some query parts:

Example:

SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS /* WHERE (Name = 'Mike') */ ORDER BY CustNo

Reserved Words Here is the list of words reserved by doogiePIM's SQL Engine. Some of them are not fully supported, butare reserved for further implementations.

OperatorsdoogiePIM SQL supports these operator categories:

Arithmetic operators Comparison operators Logical operators String concatenation operator

Arithmetic Operators Arithmetic operators perform mathematical operations on two expressions of any of the data types ofthe numeric data type category.

Operator Meaning + (Add) Addition - (Subtract) Subtraction * (Multiply) Multiplication / (Divide) Division

Example:

SELECT (Price * Quantity) AS Total FROM Order

Comparison Operators Comparison operators test whether or not two expressions are the same. Comparison operators can beused on all expressions except expressions of BLOB data types.

Operator Meaning

= Equal To

> Greater Than

< Less Than

>= Greater Than or Equal To

<= Less Than or Equal To

<> Not Equal To

The result of a comparison operator has the Boolean data type, which has three values: TRUE, FALSE, andUNKNOWN. Expressions that return a Boolean data type are known as Boolean expressions.

If an operator that has one or two NULL expressions, returns UNKNOWN. Expressions with Boolean data types are used in the WHERE clause to filter the rows that qualify for thesearch conditions

Example:

SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE (TaxRate > 0)

Logical Operators

Logical operators test for the truth of some condition. Logical operators, like comparison operators,return a Boolean data type with a value of TRUE or FALSE.

Operator Meaning AND TRUE if both Boolean expressions are TRUE. BETWEEN TRUE if the operand is within a range. IN TRUE if the operand is equal to one of a list of expressions. LIKE TRUE if the operand matches a pattern. NOT Reverses the value of any other Boolean operator. OR TRUE if either Boolean expression is TRUE. IS NULL TRUE if Boolean expression is UNKNOWN Examples:

SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE (Company LIKE '%Club%')

SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE (ShipToCity IS NOT NULL)

SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE (TaxRate BETWEEN 0 and 5) AND (AmountPaid > 1)

SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE (ShipVIA IN ('UPS', 'DHL'))

String Concatenation Operator

The string concatenation operator allows string concatenation with the addition sign (+) orconcatenation sign (||), which is also known as the string concatenation operator.

Example:

SELECT (FirstName + ' ' + LastName) AS Name FROM Customers

Context MenusContext Menus, "Shortcut Menus" or "Right Click Menus" as sometimes they are called, are small pop-upmenus that appear when you right click on a control, like an edit box or a tree view.

These menus give access to valuable commands to manipulate the data quickly. When a Context Menupops-up it will list the available commands in a similar fashion to the main menu.

For example:If you wish to add a new contact, you could activate the context menu on the Contacts List andchoose "Add a New Contact" from the menu.

To Activate A Context Menu

Either:Right click with your mouse over a control, eg: a tree view, orYou could press the keyboard shortcut equivalents:

Shift+F10 to activate the pop-up menu.

When using the keyboard, always make sure the control is "focused", ie: will accept keyboardcommands. Most controls indicate if they are focused or not by the highlight colour of the text.

The context menus in doogiePIM have an extra command "Cancel". This simply de-activates the menuwithout issuing any commands.

To De-activate A Context Menu

Either:Choose "Cancel" from the context menu, orYou could press the keyboard shortcut equivalent:
